Dimitar Angelov — Mon, 15 May 2023 21:00:18 GMT

There comes a time when even, we, gearheads have to start thinking about a more practical form of transportation. It’s clear that the low-slung sports car or the sketchy project car won’t be any good as a family car. But what if we are looking for that one car to do it all – be dependable and practical, but also fast and engaging enough? Luckily, there are plenty of manufacturers who are thinking the same way.

Garret Donahue — Sun, 14 May 2023 21:00:18 GMT

Sleepers as a concept are a sinister, yet entertaining way to view sports cars.

More C8 Corvette ZR1 Details Leaked, And It’s Going to be Awesome

Robert Moore — Sun, 14 May 2023 11:00:17 GMT

Chevy just teased a new version of the C8 Corvette that will not only be the first hybrid Vette in history but also the first AWD Corvette in history. And it wasn't that long ago that we spotted the C8 Corvette E-Ray doing some on-road testing, and while the Hybrid Vette is next on the list, what's coming after will be an even bigger deal. I'm talking about the C8 Corvette ZR1, and a new report has shed some light on what we can expect. The ZR1 is now in development, and while the Z06 is better because it doesn't have forced induction, we can now say that won't be the case for the ZR1.

Amrit Balraj — Thu, 11 May 2023 13:00:16 GMT

There have been a couple of speculative reports coming out of Japan recently, regarding the sixth-generation Supra, with some even claiming that Toyota was planning to make it an all-electric model. In February of this year, the Japanese automobile magazine - ‘Best Car’ came out with a report that the new Supra may be fully BEV, with Toyota planning to hit 1.5 million in EV sales by 2026 and the introduction of 10 new EV models. From zero to a million and a half in three years might seem like a steep figure, but Koji Sato, the new CEO of Toyota who took charge in the April of this year, is confident the company will achieve this.

Cheap Mods Every C8 Chevy Corvette Owner Should Get

Amrit Balraj — Wed, 10 May 2023 23:00:17 GMT

The Chevrolet Corvette is an iconic name in automotive history, and today the C8 is one of the most versatile sports cars you can buy. Incidentally, 2023 is the 70th anniversary of the Corvette nameplate and Chevrolet has released a special edition C8 to honor this.

If you’re looking for a car for hooning around on a racetrack, the Z51 Performance package transforms the C8 into exactly what you’re looking for. The Z51 performance package was developed by Chevy engineers to upgrade a stock C8 with more track centric features, these include an upgraded cooling system, electronic limited slip differential (eLSD), and bigger Brembo brakes. The Z51 package costs $6,345, while being completely worth it, means that it’s a little heavy on your wallet.

Crowning The Most Satisfying Car In 2023

Tyler Dupont — Wed, 10 May 2023 11:00:17 GMT

Owning a car is something that can be an incredibly personal and special experience. Even those consumers who just consider their car a tool to get them from point A to point B, develop a relationship with their vehicle. Automakers have tried their hardest to develop cars that not only cater to the need of transport but offer a deeper level of comfort and aim to bring pleasure to the simple act of driving. Some brands hit the mark better than others and Consumer Reports has come up with a list of the most satisfying cars of 2023.

10 Most Overrated Performance Cars Of 2023

Dimitar Angelov — Tue, 09 May 2023 23:00:17 GMT

There are many sports cars out there that deserve high praise for their capabilities and craftsmanship, but sometimes manufacturers go too far when hyping up their products. The anticipation of a new model, combined with the brand and nameplate’s legacy are, oftentimes, enough to hype up the car community, but sometimes, the car we get in the end isn’t quite what you had hoped for. The car community can be a cruel mistress and very often, a model is either praised or shunned solely due to the badge it’s “wearing”.

Here's Why Ignoring The Chevrolet Corvette C7 Is A BIG Mistake

Martin Morales — Tue, 09 May 2023 12:01:17 GMT

For many enthusiasts, the C8 Corvette from Chevrolet is a very exciting car. This is Chevy's first mid-engine car, instantly giving the nameplate an image of the Everyman's exotic. Always being the pinnacle of performance for the automaker, competing in racing circuits with many European supercars, the Corvette is a winner. There isn't a car quite like the Corvette for America, not even the Dodge Viper. Though the two could be thought of as America's exotics, if you will, the Corvette certainly has more history and a greater legacy than the Viper. Born in 1953, the car was already in its fourth generation by the time the first Viper was made for production in the 90s. Not to mention the Corvette has enjoyed constant production, while the Viper's is anything but steady, if not volatile.

Should You Buy A 2023 C8 Corvette Or Wait For The '24?

Tyler Dupont — Mon, 08 May 2023 15:01:17 GMT

The Chevrolet Corvette is a car that has a purist cult following, and it has been this way for decades. With the C8, Chevy decided that the way in which they could improve the car was to change it from a front to a mid-engine model, which of course made fans incredibly angry despite the actual performance advantages. As such, one would think that Chevy would decide to keep things relatively the same going forward. Despite the major changes coming in the form of the E-Ray, the 2024 C8 Stingray Corvette is actually staying relatively the same.

10 Best Sports Cars Of 2023 You Can't Ignore

Biprojit Chakraborty — Sun, 07 May 2023 19:00:17 GMT

For people who want to get to their destinations comfortably, safely, economically, and placidly, it makes little sense to buy a car that napalms your lifetime savings, burns fuel like crazy, costs an arm and a leg to maintain, and may not have any space for luggage at all. But then, sports car fans are a different breed and slaves to mind-numbing acceleration, spirited handling, and driver engagement that thrills to the core on racetracks and public roads.

Here's What Make This The Most Sacrilegious Viper In Existence

Taimoor Hassan — Sat, 06 May 2023 02:00:16 GMT

If you're a fan of muscle cars and insane power, you might have heard about the latest project by Throtl — a performance parts enterprise. They took a 2001 Dodge Viper RT/10, which already had a monstrous V10 engine under its hood, and swapped it with a supercharged 6.2-litre V-8 engine from a Dodge Hellcat Redeye. The result? A 1000-HP beast that makes the original Viper look tame.

10 Real-World Cars That We Want To See In The Upcoming GTA VI

Brian Anderson — Fri, 05 May 2023 20:01:17 GMT

For a video game series that is focused primarily on driving and shooting, neither the driving nor shooting was very intuitive in the early Grand Theft Auto releases. The driving was still a little wonky on the highly successful Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but they eventually ironed things out, and GTA V delivered an insanely fun and wholly satisfying driving experience. It's been a decade since that game came out and only Grand Theft Auto Online has been there to keep fans going.

The Fastest Porsches Of The 1990s

Dimitar Angelov — Fri, 05 May 2023 00:01:18 GMT

When it comes to fast automobiles, Porsche sports cars are certainly among the top players in the industry. The classic Porsche 911 has long been a benchmark for performance and engineering, but although it is the brand’s most iconic model, it is by far, not the only fast model Porsche has made. Throughout the years, the German sports car manufacturer has experimented with various layouts and engine types, but the classic 911 has remained a constant.

10 Cheapest McLarens Money Can Buy (2022)

Sidd Dhimaan — Wed, 03 May 2023 21:00:17 GMT

McLaren has a rich racing heritage, but the company started making road cars in the early 90s. The Gordon Murray-designed F1 was the first production McLaren supercar that came out in 1992. The company's second innings began in 2010, and that's when all the onslaught began. In 2015, McLaren decided to grow its portfolio by introducing 'affordable' cars and opening up a brand to a wider audience.

10 Fastest BMW Sports Cars, Ranked

Dimitar Angelov — Wed, 03 May 2023 19:00:17 GMT

BMW prides itself on making the ultimate driving machines. While that, certainly, is a topic to debate over, the Bavarian carmaker has, on many occasions, gotten it right when it comes to giving us a proper driver’s car. Performance and motorsport pedigree has been embedded in the vast majority of BMW models, even those that don’t have the full M-treatment. Naturally, it is BMW’s Motorsports division that provides the most badass Beamers you can buy.

15 Best And Incredibly Awesome Three-Wheeled Vehicles

Kirby Garlitos — Tue, 02 May 2023 00:31:18 GMT

Three-wheeled vehicles remain novelties in the automotive world, but there's no mistaking that these gimp-legged cars have gained popularity in recent years. From companies like Morgan to Campagna to lesser-known firms like MEV and Elio, it's hard not to see these three-wheeled vehicles as nothing more than fad cars.

Top 10 Mazda MX-5 Miata Conversions

Dimitar Angelov — Mon, 01 May 2023 00:01:17 GMT

The Mazda MX-5 is hardly a car that needs introduction. The seemingly-humble, Japanese roadster sought to reimagine the British lightweight roadster and make it more reliable. The model has been succeeding at that since its inception in 1989 with the NA generation. Four generations later, it’s still going strong while staying true to the classic formula of simplicity and lightweight. The Miata is not just a fun, affordable sports car, but also a great baseline for a wide variety of builds.

10 Fastest Audi Sports Cars, Ranked

Garret Donahue — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 00:00:16 GMT

When you think of fast European sports cars, usually it’s BMW’s M Division and Mercedes-Benz AMG products spring to mind first. Audi Sport may not immediately be the obvious performance German automaker, but it should be. It has given us many reasons to take them seriously a brand that focuses on offering some truly potent machines.

Here's What It Feels Like To Stretch A C8 Corvette To V-Max On A De-Restricted German Autobahn

Isaac Atienza — Sat, 29 Apr 2023 14:00:18 GMT

When the Chevrolet Corvette C8 first came out, everyone was impressed with its transition from a front-engined sportscar into a mid-engined, highly-balanced sportscar that could give the more expensive stuff that Europe produces, a run for their money. In the case of the even more potent Z06, its high-revving 5.5-liter naturally-aspirated flat-plane crank V-8 was the stuff of exotic dreams and not of an American sportscar, and it even outpaced a more powerful Ferrari 812 Superfast in a quarter-mile drag race. For this run, though, we're about to witness what a normal C8 Corvette and its 6.2-liter cross-plane crank V-8 is like in full blast as it hurtles down a de-restricted section of the German Autobahn.

Here's Why You Should Buy A Chevrolet C6 Corvette ZR1 Over A 2023 Chevrolet C8 Corvette

Richard Sachek — Sat, 29 Apr 2023 00:05:18 GMT

In late-2008, Chevrolet stunned the automotive world by unleashing a supercar-killing ZR1 version of its sixth-generation Corvette. During development, the car was nicknamed the "Blue Devil" after General Motors' then-CEO Rick Wagoner's alma mater, Duke University. At a time when Ferrari's most potent F430, the Scuderia, boasted 503 horsepower, the first factory supercharged Corvette cranked out a whopping 638 horsepower.

10 Fastest FWD Sports Cars, Ranked

Joe Parker — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 18:00:18 GMT

Front-wheel drive cars have several advantages over their rear-wheel or all-wheel drive counterparts. For starters, they are typically cheaper to build, which translates to lower prices at the dealer. Their engines are usually transversely mounted, they don’t require driveshafts, and there are no major driveline components at the rear, all allowing FWD cars to be more spacious for both passengers and cargo with smaller overall dimensions. In snowy conditions, traction is also improved with the engine’s weight directly over the powered wheels.

The Cheapest Porsches Money Can Buy

Sidd Dhimaan — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 02:00:18 GMT

Porsche is a brand revered by auto enthusiasts around the world. Though the Stuttgart-based marque is best known for its 911 range which tends to fetch top dollar, especially the older cars, it makes them inaccessible to the masses. But, Porsche DNA has blessed a lot of other models over the years that you can buy without breaking the bank or selling your kidney. Here are our top Porsche picks for enthusiasts on a budget:

10 Manual Cars You Need To Drive Before You Die

Dimitar Angelov — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 01:00:17 GMT

Driving enthusiasts may account for just a fraction of the overall automotive market, but luckily, automakers have not given up on making cars that are meant to bring a smile on your face. While modern automatics are, in many cases, quicker and more refined compared to their “slush-box” predecessors, they can’t match the engagement that comes with having a manual transmission. Shifting gears yourself with a third pedal and a stick is a dying art, but luckily, we are noticing a recurring trend in popularity.

Theodoros Georgiou — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 00:36:17 GMT

Let’s be honest, we all want a fun and good-looking sports car to cruise around in. If you love cars, the thrill of driving bugs you on a daily basis. So, at some point, it is normal for most car of us to hop on the market for a fun sports car. Sadly, not all of us have the insane amounts of money needed to buy the top sports car in the world; however, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Contrary to popular belief, sports cars don’t need to cost insane amounts of money. There are options out there that are more attainable by the average car guy/gal– even when brand new.

15 Fastest Porsches Ever Made

Theodoros Georgiou — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 01:00:17 GMT

Porsche is one of those brands that seems to get it right no matter what car it releases. Sure, there have been some models that weren’t that good, but most of them, especially the more recent models, are widely considered some of the best sports cars and SUVs on the market. Granted, the VW-Audi connection may be a bit too obvious in some of the more base Macan and Panamera versions, particularly in the engine department, but on every other front, Porsche does a great job at justifying their price tags.

The One Thing That Kills The C8 Chevy Corvette’s Appeal

Theodoros Georgiou — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 23:01:16 GMT

Upon its release, the C8 Corvette took the world by storm. Here was a mid-engined sports car that boasted a powerful naturally aspirated V-8 and drivetrain that would give much more expensive supercars a run for their money. It was an instant hit, and it certainly captured the attention of the world as an affordable sportscar, starting at just under $60,000; something which seems like a distant memory today. Granted, the Corvette was always thought of this way; however, the C8 brought advancements (like the mid-engine setup) that belonged into the far more expensive territory.

Best Sports Cars By Weight

Ciprian Florea — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 20:00:17 GMT

We typically judge performance cars by their power ratings and 0-to-60 mph times, but we tend to overlook the importance of power-to-weight ratios. Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus Cars, was among the first to realize that "adding" lightness was better than adding power. The man who designed the iconic Lotus Seven, and other lightweight sports cars, once said that "adding power makes you faster on the straight; subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere."

15 Best Sports Cars Mitsubishi Ever Built

Austin Greer — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 22:15:17 GMT

Mitsubishi is known for its World Rally Cross pedigree. Naturally, most of its most popular sports cars have been all-wheel drive and based on its rally cars. The Lancer Evolution is a competitor to the Subaru WRX, and the two rivals have been at each other's throats since their conception. Some models of the Evolution are arguably better, but the Subaru has always won in total sales. Unfortunately, the Lancer Evolution was discontinued in 2015.

Can't Afford A Porsche 911 Dakar? Get This Custom Mazda MX-5 Miata Instead

Isaac Atienza — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 15:36:17 GMT

The first generation (NA) MX-5 is one of the best iterations of Mazda's popular roadster. Bringing the iconic British roadster formula to life but with reliability that only the Japanese could do is a match made in heaven, since it basically meant you can have your cake and eat it. This has led a host of enthusiasts to form a culture around the MX-5, with various crazy builds already on our roads today. This 1992 model we're seeing here is no exception, but this is probably one of the craziest MX-5 builds you'll ever see as it turns the Miata into a completely different animal.

15 Best JDM Cars Of The 90s

Dimitar Angelov — Sun, 23 Apr 2023 18:00:17 GMT

Many cars are desirable by automotive enthusiasts, and they often vary, depending on the region. A type of vehicle with a global cult following is JDM cars, which of course, stands for vehicles designed for the Japanese Domestic Market. These cars or versions of cars have been produced solely for their local Japanese market and have not been exported to most (or any) other markets. The 1990s, in particular, gave birth to most of the iconic JDM cars we lust after today.

The Rise And Fall Of Need For Speed

Tyler Dupont — Sun, 23 Apr 2023 11:00:17 GMT

When it comes to racing games, there are few titles that have achieved the esteem that Need for Speed has. If you grew up in the nineties and loved cars and video games, there was no doubt that you would have picked up at least one Need for Speed title. The adrenaline of the high-speed chases and the ability to build and customize your dream car were things that were irresistible to teenage car lovers.

10 Fastest Mercedes Sports Cars, Ranked

Dimitar Angelov — Sat, 22 Apr 2023 21:01:17 GMT

Out of all car brands, Mercede-Benz has the longest history. After all, it was the car company that started it all through Karl Benz – the de-facto inventor of the first combustion-powered car, in 1886. Although the Benz Patent Motorwagen was not a fast car with its one-horsepower, single-cylinder engine, it eventually led to the founding of what would later become Mercedes-Benz. Throughout its entire history, Mercedes was a brand that chased perfection and performance.

10 Sports Cars From The 2000s Still Worth Buying Today

Michael Fira — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 20:38:50 GMT

The 2000s were a decade of rapid technological advancements, one where flip phones turned into smartphones and laptops were finally making some gains on desktop computers. It was, arguably, the decade of the Fast And Furious franchise, and one could even argue that it was the rise of tuning culture across most of the United States. Above all, though, it was the decade of the electronic uprising in our sporty cars. The first flappy paddles found their way into up-market supercars, and even the more mundane machinery came with a host of electronic aids to keep them in line.

Corvette Wars: Is The C8 'Vette Really Worth Five Times As Much As A C5?

Isaac Atienza — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 10:00:18 GMT

Buying a used car instead of a new one could be one of the best and smartest financial decisions you could ever make. Sure, the risks of damages or poor maintenance from the previous owner/s are there, but if you strike gold and manage to snag a used car that was well taken care of, you've freed yourself from the pain of depreciation. For today's video courtesy of The Fast Lane Car, we take a look at the C5 Corvette versus the current C8 Corvette and whether it's actually worth spending five times more for the new, more potent 'Vette.

Top 10 Best Sports Cars Of The Last 25 Years

Dimitar Angelov — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 21:00:17 GMT

Competition is inherent to the automotive industry. As Henry Ford once said, “Auto racing began five minutes after the second car was built”, and that really tells you all you need to know about the world of sports cars. But what does a car need to have in order to be dubbed “best sports car”? Is it exclusivity, craftsmanship, significance, or style? We like to believe it’s all of those and more.

The Best Toyota Sports Cars Ever Made

Alina Moore — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 21:00:20 GMT

For most people, the Toyota brand is synonymous with family vehicles that are reliable, efficient, and affordable, and there's the off-road crowd that will immediately throw up models like the Toyota 4Runner SUV or Tundra Pickup truck. There are those of us, however, that know that Toyota has a rich heritage of sports cars. Sure, we can talk about the modern GR Yaris or even the GR Corolla; maybe you're thinking of the Mk iV Supra that saw a huge rise to stardom after starring in the now-cult classic Fast & Furious. The truth is, however, that Toyota's sports car history runs much deeper than that. In fact, Toyota's sports car history goes all the way back to the 1960s.

10 Fastest Chevy Sports Cars, Ranked

Dimitar Angelov — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 16:15:18 GMT

When it comes to Big American Muscle, Chevrolet is one of the key names in the business. The 1960s and 1970s saw many performance versions of GM models, but by far, the biggest and longest-lasting names are the Corvette and Camaro. The two nameplates have been at it since 1953 and 1965 respectively, and aside from the late 1970s to mid-1990s, they have always packed great performance. To this day, abbreviations like SS, Z28, Z06, and ZR1 signify the range-topping Corvette and Camaro models.

10 Fastest Aston Martin Sports Cars, Ranked

Wyatt Glaeser — Sat, 15 Apr 2023 22:30:18 GMT

Ever since James Bond coasted a gorgeous grey DB5 through the swiss alps in Goldfinger, Aston Martin has become a household name. The British carmaker is the benchmark for high-quality craftsmanship and sophistication, making them well-known and sought after worldwide. However, these beautiful cars are not just pretty to look at. An Aston Martin is perfectly comfortable on the racetrack and at the car show. Why else would Bond drive one? The DB5 that featured in the infamous spy film had a top speed of 143 miles per hour, which was a blistering pace back in 1964!

Does The 2024 Acura Integra Type S Live Up To The Hype? Here's A Reality Check.

Brian Anderson — Fri, 14 Apr 2023 11:00:17 GMT

The much-anticipated 2024 Acura Integra Type S made its public debut ahead of the IndyCar Grand Prix of Long Beach in California on April 11, and it's every bit the compact street performance machine people were hoping it would be. As the standard Integra borrows liberally from the Honda Civic, the Type S leans heavily on the Civic Type R hatchback platform. Though the two cars share similar DNA, the Type S has its own personality, with unique styling and a bit more oomph under the hood. While the Integra Type S won't hit showroom floors until June, this recent debut gives the perfect opportunity to see how it stacks up against the Civic Type R.

10 Best Porsche Models You Can Still Get With A Manual Transmission

Dimitar Angelov — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 19:01:17 GMT

When it comes to driving, nothing gives a better sense of engagement and full control of a car than having to shift the gears manually. For a long time. The third pedal and stick were thought to have been a trait heading for extinction, but recent trends show that more people are coming around and opting for a manual transmission. On the other hand, Porsche is one of those manufacturers that, for what seems to be forever, are considered one of the companies that make the best sports cars. You probably don’t need us to tell you that Porsche has a lot of traditions in motorsports and building high-performance vehicles.

The Latest Scoop On The C8 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

D.M. Gonzalez-Prego — Sun, 09 Apr 2023 12:00:18 GMT

The cries from Corvette enthusiasts could be heard loud and clear through their complaints when the decision was made to make the Chevrolet Corvette a mid-engine sports car. The protesting purists felt strongly that the Corvette should remain a front-engine vehicle and anything other than that would be considered blasphemous in their eyes. At the same time, the godfather of the "Vette" is smiling down on his namesake vehicle knowing that this has always been the right direction to go in.

10 Fastest RWD Sports Cars In 2023, Ranked

Dimitar Angelov — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 14:46:17 GMT

There’s no denying that rear-wheel drive is the most exciting layout you can buy. Whether it’s front-engine or mid-engine, sending power to the rear could make for some truly fun times. This, of course, comes with certain temptations and risks and if you plan on kicking the back end out, you should make sure to do it in the appropriate places (or when no one’s around). While cars like the Mazda Miata prove you don’t need big power to have fun in a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, some of the fastest cars on the planet are rear-wheel-drive.

Dimitar Angelov — Thu, 06 Apr 2023 15:00:17 GMT

Depending on who you ask, the automobile has either evolved or devolved over the years. One aspect, however has largely remained a constant – speed. The top speed of a car is no wonder the leading boasting figure. Automakers have found ways to utilize aerodynamics and sophisticated suspension designs to improve a car’s handling, resulting in better cornering stability and faster lap times. The Nurburgring’s Nordschleife is where manufacturers perfect (or ruin) a car by chasing the best possible lap times.

The automotive market is changing and with this many enthusiast-favorite features are going away.

One key aspect of that is being able to shift the gears yourself, by using a clutch pedal and a traditional, H-pattern gear shifter.

The Fastest Sports Car From Every Decade 1930-2020

Dimitar Angelov — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 20:00:18 GMT

Top Speed is among the highlights of any vehicle. While there are several other key factors to a vehicle, the maximum velocity it can achieve was for a long time, a car’s main boasting figure. Henry Ford once said, “The first auto race began five minutes after the second car was built”. Few things accentuate the importance of speed as strongly as those words. The late 19th century saw the invention of the combustion-powered automobile.

The 700+ horsepower club is still pretty exclusive, and a decade ago, these figures were unattainable for most. Nowadays, though, it seems every other wagon, car, or SUV is getting more powerful by the year, and 700 horsepower is starting to become more common than ever. If you set your goal of buying a 700+ horsepower car today, then the list of vehicles you may end up having to pick from could look a lot like an eclectic mix of different styles of cars, with wildly varying price tags, styles, engine displacement, and levels of tech.

Top 15 Cheap Cars That Are Really Fast

Kirby Garlitos — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 23:59:40 GMT

Most gearheads dream of one day owning a car that can satisfy their need for speed. An adrenaline rush that can only be achieved by blasting down a quarter-mile track in the time that it would typically take a driver to get up to 60. Of course, that is not the case with very many of the new cars coming out onto the market because some of them can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3.0 seconds or less, such as the Tesla Plaid and the Porsche 911S. Unfortunately, these cars are still out of reach for most performance car lovers, but luckily there are some vehicles out there that are under $15,000 that are really fast.

Sidd Dhimaan — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 18:55:36 GMT

There once was a time when $5,000 could score a decent sports car. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. Today, finding new sports cars for under $5,000 is as difficult as expected. Finding any used car for under $5,000 is a search that will leave you empty-handed. Used car prices have been soaring for the last couple of years, and even though there are signs of the prices leveling, all that most can do is hope they come down in price.

What We Can Learn From The Corvette E-Ray Obliterating It's Italian Competition

Isaac Atienza — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 12:05:18 GMT

The first-ever Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray hybrid sportscar was unveiled with plenty of fanfare. While it does come with a dose of electrification, it wasn't enough to dilute the Corvette C8 recipe. Instead, it even enhanced it and made it a better sportscar in certain ways. The first electrified Corvette also happens to be the first all-wheel drive (AWD) model in the sportscar's lineage, and this results in some interesting results when pitting it against other more expensive Italian supercars, which in this instance came courtesy of Hagerty.

Dimitar Angelov — Sun, 26 Mar 2023 16:30:17 GMT

JDM cars are surrounded by one of the biggest car communities there is and for good reason.

You'll Either Love Or Hate This Chevy C8 Corvette Sedan

Joe Parker — Sat, 25 Mar 2023 10:00:17 GMT

Using a revered nameplate on a car that goes completely against the grain of the original model isn’t exactly new to the automotive industry. For instance, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross may bear the name of the automaker’s JDM icon from the ‘90s, but it’s about as far from a sporty coupe as it gets.

As one of the most iconic models to ever come out of BMW's M Division, the M3 is still considered one of the most iconic and capable, German performance cars.

Chad Daw — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 12:00:17 GMT

Carroll Shelby is arguably one of the most famous car designers of all time. However, he did not start his career as a great car maker or designer.

Godzilla has been with us for quite a while. In many ways, Nissan has approached the latest Nissan GT-R, the R35 with a beautiful Japanese tradition. In one word, refinement.

Reyan Mishra — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 13:30:17 GMT

Top 10 Cadillac V-Series Performance Cars

Joe Parker — Sun, 19 Mar 2023 16:31:17 GMT

Cadillac once stood atop the throne of the American automotive landscape with its stylish luxury barges that were the envy of those who saw them pass by and the pride and joy of those who could put one in their driveway. While Cadillac’s badge remains sought-after by many, it doesn’t hold the same weight as it once did, say, 60 years ago, as increasingly more upmarket buyers are turning to non-domestic luxury models from BMW or Mercedes-Benz. And part of the equation was those automakers could not only offer seriously upscale models, BMW’s M division and Mercedes-AMG also provided luxury cars with legitimate performance.

10 Things That Make The 2023 Toyota Copen GR Sport A Quirky JDM Sportscar

Joe Parker — Sat, 18 Mar 2023 17:40:18 GMT

In the last few years, Toyota GR, short for Gazoo Racing, has introduced some of the most exciting sports cars to hit American driveways. The GR Supra revived a classic nameplate and delivered on the kind of thrills associated with the moniker, even if it’s mostly built upon a BMW Z4 platform. The GR86 has also proved to be an absolute gem of a sports car, providing rear-wheel-drive delights and adept handling at an affordable price. More recently, the GR Corolla has firmly reignited the hot hatch segment and has totally transformed enthusiasts’ connotations with the Corolla nameplate. But these aren’t the only models Toyota’s performance division has introduced.

Junk Science? Study Claims Men Who Like Sports Cars Are Compensating

Brian Anderson — Sat, 18 Mar 2023 10:01:17 GMT

There's a tired old trope that men who drive sports cars are compensating for being less than well-endowed. Much like guns, MMA, and monster trucks, sports cars are sometimes viewed as things guys get into because they are lacking self-esteem in regard to their manhoods. Fair or unfair, the stereotype exists.

Toyota Blade: The GR Corolla's Forgotten JDM Sleeper Cousin With A Big Secret

Dimitar Angelov — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 13:40:17 GMT

Toyota has been on a roll in recent times, with regard to exciting performance models. Of course, we have Toyota’s Gazoo Racing to thank for that, as it managed to put “exciting” back in Toyota’s lineup.

10 GM Cars That Were Massive Flops

Chad Daw — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 12:15:17 GMT

Throughout the decades GM has provided the nation with some awesome cars. The iconic Corvette is one, an American sports car that has stood the test of time since it was first produced for the public in 1953. After that came the 1970 Chevelle SS with the big block 454 and the 2020 Camaro SS, which is close to the end of the line for internal combustion engine muscle cars. Of course, there are many great cars, trucks, and SUVs that can be included in that list of great cars, but like every car maker on the planet, GM has had a number of massive flops that the company had wished were never produced.

10 Coolest Wrapped Car Designs We’ve Ever Seen

Gabriela Figueroa-Rojas — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 20:46:17 GMT

Vinyl wraps are used for a multitude of reasons and are seen all over town. We commonly see wraps advertising businesses, but they can also be used as a faux paint job. Car wraps can be incredibly smooth looking, but the paint under the wrap needs to be in top condition; otherwise, the wrap will show all imperfections. Wraps do not hide dents or scratches. They often make them appear more noticeable. But when done right, a wrapped car can bring in business or appear very dapper.

Two Decades Of Motorsports Excellence: Cadillac V Will Soon Turn 20

Isaac Atienza — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 10:46:17 GMT

It's hard to believe that Cadillac's V-Series performance division (with V standing for Victory) has already been with us for nearly two decades. What feels like only yesterday when Cadillac's first V-Series model called the CTS-V was launched has now spawned into a series of sports sedans that could actually take on the Germans in terms of driving fun, as well as even a hulking full-size SUV in the form of the first-ever Escalade-V. To celebrate this milestone, Cadillac is kicking off a year-long celebration for its V-Series sub-brand as it officially celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2024.

Why Hyundai N Vision 74 Would Be The Perfect Halo Car

Dimitar Angelov — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 13:30:17 GMT

In recent years, different mediums have been leading us to believe that EVs are the future of mobility. While it may, partially, be true, hydrogen is, once again, on the table and this time, it seems to be here for the long ride. Hyundai is one of the carmakers that seriously considers hydrogen as a viable alternative to electrification. The Hyundai N Vision 74 is one of the latest examples of that. The neo-retro-styled performance model is, as described by Hyundai, “the first Hydrogen Hybrid rolling lab”. While currently a concept model, a Hyundai Exec in charge of running Hyundai’s N division expressed willingness to make a production version of the N Vision 74. Sports cars are not exactly a golden goose for car manufacturers, but there are a few reasons why a production version of the Hyundai N Vision 74 would be a wise move for Hyundai.

Tesla's Most Significant Models In Order Of Appearance

Dimitar Angelov — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 00:00:17 GMT

Tesla will go down in history as the modern-day pioneer of electric vehicles. The first EV actually came in around the 1832, with more refined variants coming around the 1870s. EVs were ahead of the time back then, which is why EVs only became popular over the last 15 years, under the pretext of sustainability. The company that started the modern-day EV craze is Elon Musk’s very own Tesla, though it should be noted that he wasn't exactly a company founder. In 2008, the American EV manufacturer sat at the forefront of electrified mobility and despite a rather rough start, it’s still one of the leading, global EV manufacturers. The benefit of “first come, first serve” is apparent and here are the most significant Tesla models in order of appearance.

Garret Donahue — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 20:05:19 GMT

Muscle cars exist outside the Wild West. Two of Japan’s strongest examples are the new Nissan Z and Toyota Supra. In 1969 Nissan first launched the Z, known in Japan as the Fairlady Z. After a disagreement with Yamaha, Nissan partner on the original project, Nissan ultimately scrapped the plans with the engineering company and launched their own version of the Fairlady Z powered by a 2.0-liter SOHC straight-six.

Moritz Buder — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 12:30:17 GMT

Porsche has been expanding the model range of its most successful sports car, the 911, for years. Compared to its predecessor, the current 992 generation is likely to be joined by a number of new special models that will further diversify the model range.

Chad Daw — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 11:00:17 GMT

The iconic '60s AC Cobra, better known in the U.S. as the Shelby Cobra, is one of the most iconic cars of all time. It is also one of the most copied, with kits available from numerous companies allowing an admirer to build a replica model to drive around in.

Here's Why The Next-Gen Toyota MR2 Will Be More Significant Than You Think

Toyota has had its fair share of exciting models over the years, but by far, one of the most exciting nameplates is the MR-2.

10 Mods That You Need To Do On Your Fox Body 5.0L Mustang

Chad Daw — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 18:00:17 GMT

From the 1979 model year to 1993, the Fox Body Mustang was the muscle car offering produced by Ford for the masses of 'Stang lovers. It was not one of the worst designs that the company made for the once beastly car, but for many, it was one of those transition cars that had potential that could just as easily be passed on when they were looking for a fast car. The thing about the Fox Body Mustang is that it was never rated as good as it actually was, simply because of its looks.

Chad Daw — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 18:01:17 GMT

Without a doubt, the Chevy 350 is one of the best small blocks that has ever been on the market. Starting back in 1955, the engine was the one that muscle car lovers went after because they were powerful right out of the gate. But even better, if the owner of the car that it sat, in wanted to make improvements, the 350 engine was one of the most accessible engines to find aftermarket parts for. That still stands to this day.

Garret Donahue — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 22:00:17 GMT

Alfa Romeo is currently in a critical position. For one, its sales represent just a tiny fraction of its German competition, and so, in order to boost its mainstream appeal and stay competitive, the Italian luxury brand had to release a series of crossovers--namely the sporty Stelvio and more recently, the Tonale, which is a model that could save Alfa from going extinct.

Porsche Could Be Bringing Back The 911 Speedster

Moritz Buder — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 19:00:17 GMT

To mark the brand's 70th birthday, Porsche presented the 911 Speedster as a study at the 2018 Paris Motor Show. The sporty and purist roadster was not only intended to appeal to enthusiasts of the sports car manufacturer but also to represent the crowning glory of the 991 series. The 2019 production version, limited to 1948 units - the year Porsche was founded - ultimately won over fans and the trade press alike, making for a successful birthday present, even on the road. For its 75th birthday, Porsche could now repeat the Speedster's history once again. According to the latest information, the German sports car manufacturer is planning a new Speedster variant of the 992 series of the 911 for the end of 2023.

The Toyota GR Corolla's Circuit Edition Will Get An Extended Production Run

Isaac Atienza — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 14:30:18 GMT

The Toyota GR Corolla was launched with such huge fanfare in the United States because it essentially is the GR Yaris hot hatch but supersized for American tastes and dimensional needs. Some of that hype also centered around the Circuit Edition, which offered a bit more performance and ever-so-slightly more aggressive looks. That privilege is worth $7,000 above the Toyota GR Corolla's base MSRP of $36,995, and just 1,500 units will supposedly be produced, but for the 2024 model year, Toyota's plans have changed... for the better, that is.
